Those red link/hover over ads

As you can see, they're a bit random. I've had them for a couple days.

I'll have to check if they're from something on my machine that got past the AV.

Anyone else getting them?

That is unacceptable. I have never allowed those to happen on this forum and I have never seen one either (or maybe I did once and wiped it out, I am not positive). If I can pinpoint one maybe I can get to the bottom of it. But suffice it to say I don't want those on this board and won't allow them.

I've never gotten one of those on this site. Are you sure it's not something attached to your browser?

Like one of those annoying Bing search tool add-ons or something like that.

ETA - what browser are you using? Have you tried using a different browser to see if the problem crosses over?

I'm thinking it's Yahoo "search assist" Probably started along with fantasy football.

I'm looking for a way to turn it off, so far with no luck. Their directions on yahoo answers are impossible since the way to get to the controls doesn't exist. Plus I can't ask or reply to questions (My limit is 0 per day?! )

It's been that sort of week with the computer and a bunch of other stuff.

I'll figure out how to get rid of it one way or another.

Sorry to bother you all. It started recently and since it's on other sites I figured that was why.

Not sure what browser you're using... but you should be able to find it under preferences or add-ons or plug-ins, something like that. There should be an option to disable.

Or you could see if it's listed in your add/remove Programs and remove it from your computer completely.
